A: “No. I don’t miss the job,” says the former cohost, 71, who will celebrate her stand-up roots in the all-female comedy series Lipshtick in Las Vegas this month.

“Funny is funny,” Behar said, asked what she thought of participating in an all-female series. “We are women, so we are going to be a little bit different because we’re coming from a different point of view. You know, I mean, we have a uterus, for example. Right there, there’s material.”

As for Rosie O’Donnell’s announced return? “She’s audacious and a little bit dangerous. … This will be must-see TV!”

Behar added she anticipates lively debates at the View with O’Donnell back at the table. “There was tension when I was there with Elizabeth, and tension when Rosie was there, and it was very political and interesting,” she said. “And then somebody up there, in their infinite wisdom—that was being sarcastic—thought they should stop doing that. And so they got in a different phase, and it didn’t work.”
